One night, things were just a little too quiet on the lake….

I soon learned, that if you see two guys walking out of the grocery store with Aqua Net Hair Spray, and a 10 pound bag of potatoes –

they’re on a mission. You see, Aqua Net makes a great “fuel” for a potato launcher, or spud gun. See what I mean, on this video, here:

More, lake house posts, here.

Notice the number of seconds between launch, and splash.

Like all of you, I am overwhelmed and am currently working on a plan to eliminate all need for sleep so that I will have enough hours in the day. I'll let you know as soon as I have all the kinks worked out. I treasure your comments and emails. I do read them all.
